I like to keep my life simple,
so for me the perfect solution to a beach house is the humble beach shack.
Practical, fuss-free, low maintenance and no frills.
I like the idea of rustic pieces mixed with hand-me-downs,
vintage finds and second hand bargains.
Add some eco-friendly timber floorboards,
handcrafted rugs and a healthy dose of stylish details
and you will have yourself a one-of-a-kind beach house
filled with love and pieces that tell a story.

Rich, dark colours really make the white pop.
It's an elegant, understated look that works well with
exposed timber beams, recycled floorboards and more traditional decor and architecture.
You could combine it with some of the season's hottest equestrian trends
like framed horse prints and a Hermes blanket.
Don't forget to leave your riding boots strategically lying around the place!!!

Still-popular sorbet pastels are making an even stronger statement this season.

Fresh and modern they are appearing not just on the catwalks and in fashion magazines
but modern day pastels are infiltrating our homes and
infusing them with a prettiness that we haven't seen in a long time.
I love pink, peach, mint and aqua with a passion
so I am really embracing this gorgeous trend.
My only warning is don't overindulge -
keep pastels to accents and accessories and
pare them back with white and neutrals to keep it sophisticated and grown up.
